You look on the forums of those cars and there is a lot of fan boys and elitists who care more about prestige and image over performance and function.

Point taken. I guess in their minds, the prestige is worth it.

I am a performance car guy first, I will go after whatever is killing it and the car that has the whole package, regardless of manufacture. Right now, that is not BMW or Audi (san the TTRS, which I almost choose over the SS 1LE)
If I had to pay full MSRP for the SS 1LE, I probably would have gone with the TTRS and put about $5K into it for a tune, downpipes, exhaust, springs and swaybar had a 3.2 0-60 car that could still handle well.
However, when I can pick up a 2SS 1LE for $44K, that is about half the price of the TTRS, and the 1LE is putting up the numbers of the M3 GTS and GT350R, you just can't pass that up.

Considering straight line performance and price, I'd say the TTRS is more in the ZL1 category than SS 1LE, but the fact you cross shopped the SS 1LE speaks volumes. Not an Audi fan, but there's no denying that TTRS put up some good numbers stock.
